"What I found most enjoyable about this novel is that it steers
clear of stereotypes about Indian immigrant families. The Bhaves
and the Moghes are refreshingly different from some families that
inhabit the world of diasporic fiction. There are no daughters
being threatened with arranged marriages, no authoritarian parents,
and no weepy sentimentality about the land left behind."-(Nalini
Iyer, on SAWNET Book Pages)
"This is the story of two families that not only dive deep into
dangerous waters, but surface and live to tell the tale."-(Michelle
Reale in "Rain Taxi Online")
"A hymn to the joys and sorrows of family, in the best, most
inclusive sense of the word." Andreas Schroeder
